I am a second year PhD student. My research combines field, molecular, and bioinformatic approaches to investigate mechanisms of heat tolerance in wild birds. I'm interested in identifying differences in heat tolerance across individuals, populations, and species, as well as ecological and biological factors that contribute to any observed differences.

I received my B.S. in Biology at University of Rochester, where I researched phenotypic plasticity in pea aphid wing morphology with the Brisson Lab.
